THE WORK DESIGN QUESTIONNAIRE – DEVELOPING POLISH VERSION OF A MEASURE FOR ASSESSING JOB CHARACTERISTICS AND WORK ENVIRONMENT. PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Summary/Abstract: Abstract. The aim of this study was to develop a Polish version of a measure for assessing job characteristics and work environment. The idea was based on Work Design Questionnaire by Morgeson and Humphrey, which allows to assess 21 characteristics of a job. 174 employed people have been surveyed (113 W, 67 M), aged from 19 to 60 years (M = 35.50, SD = 11.20), representing different professions and positions, as well as different work experience (minimum 1 year, maximum 45 years; M = 13.81). In order to develop the questionnaire, a number of analyses was conducted: generating the preliminary list of items, analyzing the structure of answers given by the subjects, exploratory factor analysis, assessment of properties of the selected items and the reliability of the scales. As a result, a measure consisting of 46 items (which belong to 11 factors) was obtained. The Polish version of the Work Design Questionnaire has satisfactory reliability (Cronbach’s α ranging from 0.60 for the scale of “Meaning of Work” to 0.92 for the scale “Job complexity”, for the whole scale: 0.87), but its usefulness for scientifi c purposes should be verifi ed. It is therefore planned to continue efforts to develop the fi nal version of the questionnaire, such as: an analysis of construct validity (including confi rmatory factor analysis) and external validity, taking into account the variable of social approval etc.
